Indeed, comprehensive building restoration is not the easiest service to find, and we procure the preservation of our assigned structures hitting on all cylinders. We know how to work efficiently, but there are many jobs that call for absolute attention to the most minuscule detail. In fact, we have dealt with projects that have spanned not only several months but multiple years. This project was for a historical building constructed in the 1800s and demanded our full attention and all of our expertise. It was well worth our efforts as we saved yet another piece of our architectural and cultural history.
When we approach your building for building restoration, we always keep in mind that each building is quite individual and distinct, much like a fingerprint. Not only are they built at different times and with variable materials, but location and weather also play a huge role in determining how a building has aged and precisely what needs to be done. We start off by doing a thorough inspection of your property, keeping in mind what we have discussed with you on what you hope to achieve.
Another building restoration project included an old piano factory that was to be renovated into condominiums. We rebuilt the top six feet of parapet wall, which included extensive lintel replacement. Additionally, all jack arches and decorative corbels were replaced. We also matched replacement brick, which was difficult if not tedious, but we were able to do it.
For another building restoration job we were able to reconstruct chimneys based on old photographs of a building. We understand that collaboration and the ability to deconstruct details are often a vital aspect to completing successful projects. That means we will discuss your project in full so that we are certain to yield the exact vision you have in mind. No project is too grand, detailed or small for our team of experienced, courteous, can-do master masonry experts.
